shabbadude Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 This is really BIG! We're always talking about ch7 ministers etc... But getting tariffs in place means trading which means a trade-able currency! And look at the date! And this "there are other items related to food security and focus on investment in the areas of agriculture, industry and water security fields, children and the poverty fight," Without protections, foreign investors won't come in. I hope this article gets some serious attention. Great find Tony! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Lights Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Didn't I read someone's comment that there needed to be a tradeable currency 2 months prior to the tariff's being put into place? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, are you referring to this " Esawi said that "Iraq will begin on June 1st, 2012, the implementation of the tariff customs" This may mean something, I'd like to hear everybody's thoughts on this. Didn't I read someone's comment that there needed to be a tradeable currency 2 months prior to the tariff's being put into place? I don't remember reading that, but if you can find it please post it.

BelievingInTheBest Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thank you Tony, It sounds like they plan to implement the tariffs on June 1st. If true, this should be positive as, in my opinion, tariffs could be easier with a new rate and all that would go with that new rate. Do it already! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinarduo Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Didn't I read someone's comment that there needed to be a tradeable currency 2 months prior to the tariff's being put into place? I remember that statement too Northern Lights - it wasn't that long ago. I'm working now but I can try to find it this evening if it hasn't been located yet. Thanks for the post Tony!

Laid Back Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 "Iraq will begin on June 1st, 2012, the implementation of the tariff customs" Could be this the RV day ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Lights Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I found the comment. It was made by Carrello on 03/09/2012 in the News Post "Parliment Supreme Cmttee w/CBI to Delete Zeros" in the news post she added the comment: "The tariff / customs law goes into effect June 30th. It had been said that the RV needed to take place about 2 months prior in order to make adjustments to food and other imports so that Iraqis have options and do not have to purchase imports. This probably doesn't make much sense, but it may help when thinking about an RV in September." Read more: I guess it was just a statement of understanding, not necessarily a cut in stone fact, but it still is interesting if true - which means that they would have to start making these "adjustments" now if the tariffs go into effect on June 1st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the RV needs to take place 60 days before the tariffs....and they go into effect June 1st....that would make it.....April 1st.. Am I thinking correctly? BTW thanks Tony for the article. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, thanks for the time to dig this up, in this statement it says June 30th and on my post it says June 1st, either way if this tariff means anything to the rv we're not too far from something happening.

unirod Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 April 1st would be the start of a new fiscal quarter would it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinarduo Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 April 1st would be the start of a new fiscal quarter would it not? Yes, Iraq's FY is the calendar year so April 1 will be the beginning of a new FQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
